Although I haven't bothered to do so, not considering it a problem, it is
possible to have parts of the brake caliper, including I think the pistons,
coated with a thermal barrier. The thermal barrier prevents heat absorption
by the caliper, pistons and fluid thus prevent brake fade due to overheated
fluid. I would guess that more heat might be retained in the pads & disc - I
will ask the manufacturers at the Autosports tech show in January.
